The University of Michigan-Dearborn Police & Public Safety Department (UMDPPSD) is a full service law enforcement agency. Police officers are licensed by the Michigan Commission on Law Enforcement Standards (MCOLES), and have the authority to investigate, search, arrest and use reasonable force as necessary to protect persons and property and to enforce the laws of the State of Michigan and the Ordinance of the Regents of the University of Michigan.

University Police Officers patrol all campus buildings and grounds. These patrols are designed to prevent and detect crimes and property loss from crime, fire and floods. Patrols are conducted 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Patrols are performed by officers on foot, in motor vehicles, and on bicycles. Specialized police services provided by officers include: criminal investigations, accident investigations, special problems and community outreach liaisons.

The UM-Dearborn Police Department has a cooperative relationship and works very closely with the Dearborn Police Department and other local, state and federal law enforcement agencies in matters of mutual concern. The Wayne County Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Agreement assures that each police agency in Wayne County agrees to aid other agencies in need of law enforcement assistance, and is just one example of the cooperation between area police agencies.

UM-Dearborn Police Department has officers assigned to districts throughout the campus. These officers work together with UM-Dearborn community members to reduce the fear of crime and the conditions that contribute to crime, and to increase the community's involvement in resolving these issues. Officers are encouraged to establish and maintain long-term working relationships with community members. Rather than solely reacting to events, our department partners with community members and takes a preventive approach to eliminating problems that cause crime or allow it to occur.
